Without quotas your recycle bin will have no growth limit. Depending on howyour recycle bin is configured you may never recover space from 'deleted'items. From Central Admin you can check this at Application Management ->Web Application General Settings bottom of the page.

Once you enable a quota on the site collection you can check the usage ofyour doc libraries and lists in a site collection via: Site Actions -> SiteSettings -> Storage Space Allocation

We recently saw this sort of issue with a shared calendar on our tech supportsite. Everyone had connected to it and then, for some reason, whenever someonewould put an entry on to it the entry would double, and then quadruple, andthen... you get the point.

I don't remember what the tool was that they used (it is built into SharePoint,NOT third-party) but it showed them which list it was and they were able to justdelete that list.

I also don't remember what the original issue was that allowed it to go haywire.
